Sports in Britain
The British are a sports-loving nation. Cricket, soccer, rugby, tennis, squash, table tennis, badminton, canoeing and snooker were all invented in Britain. The first rules for such sports as boxing, golf, hockey, yachting and horse-racing also originated from Britain. The most popular sports that people take part in, rather than watching, are angling, snooker and darts.
Cricket is very much the English game. A match can take five days and still end in a draw. A form of cricket was being played 250 years ago.
Football began as a contest between neighbouring villages - with no limit to the number on each side, no fixed pitch and almost no rules. The Football Association drew up the rules of the modem game in 1863 and in 1888 12 clubs joined together to form the first Football League. England won the World Cup in 1966. Rugby and football became two separate sports when the rQ.les laid down by the Football Association said that only the goalkeeper could handle the bad. Two kinds of rugby are played in Britain. Rugby Union is played by amateurs in teams of 15 in the south of England and in Wales (where it is the national sport). Rugby League is played by professionals in teams of 13 in the north of England.
Golf was probably invented in Holland, but has been played in Scotland for at least 400 years. At first, it was played with balls made of wood.
The first rules for tennis were drawn up by the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club when it held its first tournament in the London suburb of Wimbledon in 1877. Wunbledon is still the world's most famous tennis event.
There are a lot of sports and games which are popular both among youngsters and grown-ups. 25 million of grownup people take part in sports. Sport is on the programme of all state and private schools and universities. Nearly all schools have sports grounds and swimming pools. Indeed, sport is a part of everyday life in Britain.

Sports in America
Americans are very fond of sport. The most popular sports in the USA are football, which is played from April to October, baseball, played from September to December, basketball, played from October to April and ice hockey, played in most northern cities from October to March.
American football derives from the English game of rugby. It was started at Harvard University in 1870s. It is a game for the two teams of 11 men on the field. The object of the game is to have control of the ball and to score points by carrying it across the goal-line.
Baseball is a team game derived from the English game of cricket. It is played with a bat and a ball by two teams of9 players each on a field with 4 bases. Baseball is the national game of the USA and it is very popular in Canada too.
Basketball is a game which nowadays is popular all over the world. It was invented in 1891. During the 1920s the first US league championship was organized. In the 1970s the American Championship was divided into two leagues: the ABA (American Basketball Association), which does not exist any longer, and the NBA (National Basketball Association).
There are a lot of activities which Americans take part In, such as golf, swimming, tennis, aerobics, wrestling, etc.
Americans' interest in sports seems excessive to many foreign visitors. Television networks spend millions of dollars arranging to telecast sports events. Publications about sports are sold widely. In the US professional athletes can become national heroes.
Sports are also associated with educational institutions. High schools have coaches as faculty members, and school teams compete with each other.
Nowhere else in the world are sports associated with colleges and universities in the way they are in the United States. College sports, especially football, are conducted in an atmosphere of intense excitement. Games between teams attract nationwide television audiences.
Sports play such an important role in American life that the sociology of sports, sports medicine and sports psychology have become respectable specializations.
Many Americans jog every day or play tennis two or three times a week. They go on ski trips and hunting expeditions that require weeks of planning and organizing. In the Americans' view, all these activities are worth the discomfort they may cause because they contribute to health and physical fitness. That is probably why Americans are known as a healthy nation.
